Seeking young people to co-design a new pilot program
Paid opportunity: Focus groups in Pierce, Yakima and Spokane counties and online
Hello OHY grantees and partners,
The Office of Homeless Youth (OHY) and our partners Point Source Youth and Systems Change Partners are excited to share a paid opportunity for young people in Washington to co-design a new program for young people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness and housing instability. OHY and our partners are working with a team of youth consultants to lead to the co-design process for a Direct Cash Transfers pilot program.
Later this month, we will host in-person and virtual co-design sessions with young people who have experienced housing instability or homelessness to participate in shaping this program. These sessions offer a valuable chance for young people to contribute their insights and help create an innovative new program.
Who can participate?
If you are between the ages of 16 and 25, have experienced or are currently experiencing homelessness or housing instability, please sign up using the registration form linked below.
If you are not a young person, please share this message with any young folks you know or work with who might be interested in this opportunity.
